Investing in your brand through the Chamber benefits you!
Your Chamber membership already benefits your business. Now let us show you how investing in a Chamber sponsorship benefits your company’s brand.
Your Chamber membership is important to your customers, as well. A national study conducted by The Schapiro Group, an Atlanta-based market research firm, found when business decision-makers believe that a business is a chamber member, they are
37 percent more likely to think favorably of the business,
58 percent more likely to think positively of its local reputation and
59 percent more likely to buy goods and services from it.
